My vote goes to this beauty

Horrible inside and out! Any other takers?

Ugly and expensive... what's not to like!

SantaFrontPaws · 07/12/2012 16:36

A telescope in the bedroom? And one of those big tropical fans? I'm assuming this place was tout la rage about 30 years ago. Not my taste and the building is ugly too.

MistletoeAndTomHardyPlease · 07/12/2012 16:36

70s brothel / hunting lodge.

What's not to like?

BahSaidPaschaHumbug · 07/12/2012 16:39

Sad don't you like my house?

CuddyMum · 07/12/2012 16:48

It doesn't offend me - lots of potential but not at that price!

SantaFrontPaws · 07/12/2012 17:08

This s mine!

Who hung those pictures? And why?

drjohnsonscat · 07/12/2012 17:19

Cor that's hideous. It looks like one of the outbuildings in the grounds of my hideous 70s school - where the boiler was and the caretaker kept his bottle of whiskey Someone could do an amazing makeover on it and make it into a modernist masterpiece for 100k but not when it bloody costs a million before you start. What the hell???

Acandlelitshadow · 07/12/2012 17:24

WTF is with all the teddies? Bet their eyes follow you Shock

Apart from the freaky teds I don't mind it though. Quite fancy a 70's shag pad Grin although the kitchen is a bit at odds with the rest of it. Maybe they ran out of money

SantaFrontPaws · 07/12/2012 17:26

It looks like a family home that was done up in the seventies and not really updated. I hope the elderly couple who probably live the are selling up to buy a cottage on the Riviera.

WinklyVersusTheZombies · 07/12/2012 17:37

Is it used as a studio for filming pornos? Would explain the camera stand in the bedroom...

7to25 · 07/12/2012 18:25

It's the massive style mismatch between the bed and the bedroom that amuses me.

yuleheart · 07/12/2012 18:35

Kitchen is nice but everything else is hideous with a capital H

kitsmummy · 07/12/2012 19:08

Ok that is vile, but could be AWESOME with the right person getting to grips on it. I would love a project like that!

lalalonglegs · 07/12/2012 20:04

I like the exposed brick walls inside and the layout is pretty good but the furniture is letting it down. You could probably make the outside look very Modernist and groovy. I've definitely seen a lot worse.

mamij · 07/12/2012 20:07

I love it! And a bargain at that price. Hmm

TheFarSide · 07/12/2012 20:07

Actually I really like the layout, and it's very spacious.

I thought we liked Scandi stuff on MN?

Geranium3 · 07/12/2012 20:18

OMG that sure is disgustingly ugly!!!
Do you think it started life the same as the modest 1930's house next door? Poor neighbours!

QuickQuickSleigh · 07/12/2012 20:25

Wow! Reminds me of my university halls of residence! And not in a good way.

sneezecakesmum · 07/12/2012 20:27

Heavens it is hideous. It has brick AND wood cladding inside. The outside is like an abandoned house in Prypiat (the town near Chernobyl!)

lljkk · 07/12/2012 20:30

I reckon render the outside walls & paint them white.
Get a carpet that goes with the wood panelling (who chose the ugly grey Confused)?
Whitewash the interior brick walls.
Will never be lovely but it is spacious.

poncyettia · 07/12/2012 20:32

I grew up in a house very similar to this - right down to the exposed brickwork and open plan stairs. I did actually check the address in case it was home Xmas Blush

Can't believe there are 2 houses which look like that Xmas Shock

mrscrimbobash · 07/12/2012 20:36

Wow. That is horror movie stuff.

SantaIAmSoFuckingRock · 07/12/2012 20:36

the inside looks like someone has converted their garage into living space but forgot to plaster the walls.
